Chapter 442

More than ten minutes later.

Julia stared in shock and said: "You mean, when my mother gave birth to me, she was already on the brink of death—"

"The suffering I endured in the palace was also experienced by my mother. But she died shortly after giving birth to me, and you took on my mother's appearance and have been pretending to be her ever since? Is that what you're saying?"

Julia had pieced together the reason, and Imperial Consort Xiao nodded.

Back then, when Imperial Consort Xiao gave birth to Julia, her dying rage was overwhelming, but she was already on the brink of death—when the current Imperial Consort Xiao arrived, she transformed into Imperial Consort Xiao's appearance, replaced her entirely, and then orchestrated every subsequent event.

This revelation left Julia stunned.

She never imagined the truth would be like this.

"So, Mother, who are you really? No—no matter who you are, you raised me, you are still my mother; I only want to know your true identity!"

Imperial Consort Xiao rose and gazed out the window: "I come from the darkness; I cannot reveal my exact identity—it would only put you in danger!"

"You only need to know that I came to Nolande to restrain the first King of Nolande! I originally intended to threaten Nolande as a nation, but I never expected so many things to happen!"

As Imperial Consort Xiao finished speaking, she had already transformed into a completely different appearance.

"Hand the Nolande throne to Jiang Li—I saw a glimpse of the future in him!"

As she spoke, Imperial Consort Xiao and the sleeping Xiao Li vanished together.

Julia collapsed onto the floor.

Several days passed.

The news of Imperial Consort Xiao's disappearance spread throughout Nolande.

Lan Lan Lite also vanished, and the world now had one more Julia.

This day.

The day of the new King of Nolande's ascension.

The entire ceremony was presided over by the one who had disappeared and reappeared—Bans.

The scene was the same, except Jiang Li now stood below the throne, clad in a full golden robe and crowned.

This time, the ascension ceremony went smoothly.

Jiang Li's first act was to release his biological mother in this world.

After all, he was still impersonating the Prince of Nolande.

Then—he married the daughter of the Right Chancellor, Julia, and Long Long Lisha, who had followed him for over a decade.

The daughter of the Right Chancellor became Empress; Long Long Lisha became Imperial Noble Consort.

The imperial harem was filled with dozens of women.

Jiang Li had never imagined he would become Emperor in a Dungeon World…

But he also knew he had to leave—this world did not belong to him.
